Patented July 28, 1936 UNITED. STATES CASE FOR ROUGE STICKS Charles Holl, Paris, France Application Marci; 31, 1934, Serial No. 718,465

I In France May 9, 1933 3 Claims. (01. 132-79) The present invention relates to cases for rouge sticks for the lips, in which the stick of rouge is carried in a socket provided with a pushpiece and adapted to slide lengthwise in a tubular 5 sleeve forming the main body of the case itself.

When the rouge stick is not in use, the sleeve is covered with a cap which fits against the rest of the case.

In conformity with the invention, the cap of 10 the case is combined with a small mirror mounted on the cap by a single or double hinge, so that the mirror may be turned either aside from the cap,or close to the latter.

The body of the case, or the cap, comprises a 15 device .so arranged as to hold the mirror alon the side of the cap when the latter is fitted in position. According to a preferred form of construction, the push-piece used for the stick is provided with a notch adapted to engage the 20 edge of the mirror, which is thus held in place as @long'jasthe cap covers the case. I

Ij-Aform of construction of case for rouge sticks,

' in conformity with the invention, is shown in the accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the case in the closed postiion.

Fig. 2 is a view showing the case open and the mirror hinged back.

Fig. 3.is a lengthwise section of the case in the open position.

- Fig. 4 is a like'section of the case in the closed position. 7

The case represented in these figures comprises in the usual manner a main body "I of rectan- 35 gular cross-section, extended by a sleeve II, also of rectangular shape, but having a smaller crosssection.

In the sleeve H is slidable. with a certain friction, a socket i2 adapted to receive the stick of The socket I2 is provided with a push-piece M which extends through the sleeve ll through a longitudinal slot l and forms at the exterior of the case, a projection by which the same can 45 be pushed by the finger.

when the device is not in use, the sleeve II is covered by a cap it of corresponding section, which entirely covers the sleeve in such way as not to form any projecting part with reference 50 to the main body ill of the case (Fig. 1).

In conformity with the invention, the said cap has hinged to it at I! the frame I8 of a mirror which is plane or preferably somewhat convex, and the hinge i1 should be arranged so that the mirror may pivot through about 150, this being a convenientposition for use. I

It is preferable that when the case is closed and covered by the cap IS, the mirror should not swing, and for this purpose, according to the form of construction represented, there is provided on the push-piece It, as shown in Fig. 3, 10 a notch 20 adapted for the engagement, as shown in Fig. 4, of the front edge 2| of the frame l8, and thus the push-piece serves as a fastening device for the mirror.

However, it is obvious that the invention is not limited to the form of construction above described, and in particular, the mirror can be 'held in the closed position by any other suitable device mounted upon the main body of the case, I or even upon the cap. On the other hand, the hinge of the mirror l9 may be made double, in order to avoid any projection on the plane of the cap.

I claim:

1. A rouge stick casing, a rouge stick 'slidably mounted therein, a knob connected to the rouge stick whereby the latter may be manually moved within said casing, a cap for said casing, a frame hingedly connected to said cap for supporting a mirror, and said knob adapted to engage said frame for preventing the swinging movement thereof upon its hinged connection.

2. A rouge stick casing, a knob slidably mounted thereon and connected to the rouge stick thereof, a cap for said casing, a frame hingedly connected to said cap having a mirror mounted thereon, and said knob adapted to engage said frame for preventing swinging movement thereof upon its hinged connection.

3. A rouge stick casing having an opened end, '40 a rouge stick arranged within said casing and having one end projecting therefrom, a bezeled knob slidably mounted within said casing and connected to the rouge therein, a cap for said casing adapted to cover the projecting end of the rouge, a frame hingedly connected to said cap for supporting a mirror, and said bezeled knob adapted to engage said frame for preventing the swinging movement thereof upon its hinged connection.
